HANG Eni-'0R GARMENT'S.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 477,412, dated J' une 21, 1892. Application ilod February 15, 1892. Serial No. 421,625.` (No model.)

T0 all whom t may concern:

A Beit known that I, JULIUS C. IjIAsSE, a citizen of the United States, residing at Detroit, in the county of Wayne and State of Michigan, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Hangers for Garments', of which the following is a specification, reference being had therein to the accompanying drawings.

This invention relates to new and useful improvements in hangers for garments; and the invention consists in the peculiar' con struction of a hanger designed especially for trousers or for an entire suit of gentlemens clothes, whereby each garment maybe supported in proper position without wrinkling and whereby each may be readily detached, all as more fully hereinafter described.

In the drawings, Figure l is a perspective view of my improved hanger. Fig. 2 is a front elevation thereof, showing in dotted lines the manner of supporting clothes therefrom.

My hanger I preferably construct from a single piece of wire bent to form the central eye A, preferably by making-a number of circular bends therein,with the depending vertical portions B connecting this eye at each side with horizontal side extensions C,which are of a length corresponding substantially with the width of the coat designed to be hung or the width of the trousers designed to be supported. At the end of this horizontal extension I bend the wire to form two V-shaped legs D, and preferably form at the top of these legs a squared shoulder E, extending upon both sides of the side extension C. The eye A, formed of a series of loops, as described, acts as a spring from which the entire device is suspended, and the horizontal portion C maybe bent down more or less to cause the sections D to approach each other to a more or less extent to accommodate the device to articles of apparel of different width.

In order to suspend trousers from the device, the buttons upon each side are engaged into the notches in the Vshaped legs D and drawn to the lower points thereof, these being of such a sha-pe as to allow the shank or thread of the button to pass down to the apex of the opening, while the button will be firmly held in position, thus supporting the trousers on both sides and within the sides of the hanger, leaving the top perfectly free to receive the Vest and coat.

kThe lateral portions E upon both sides of the side extensions C are adapted to engage into the shoulders of the coat and hold it in shape.

What I claim as my invention is- A garment-hanger consisting of a single piece of wire formed with a central eye A and horizontal extensions C, extending out on opposite sides, right-angled horizontal extensions on opposite sides of the ends of the extensions C, forming shoulder-supports, and the V-shaped legs D on the right-angled extensions, substantially as described.

In testimony whereof I affix my signature in presence of two witnesses.
